Docker plugin for Jenkins
Jenkins Cloud Plugin for Docker
The aim of this docker plugin is to be able to use a docker host to dynamically provision a slave, run a single build, then tear-down that slave, without the build process (or Jenkins job definition) requiring any awareness of docker.
The Jenkins administrator configures Jenkins with knowledge of one or more docker hosts (or swarms), knowledge of one or more "templates" (which describe the labels/tags that this template provides, the docker image, how to start it, etc) and Jenkins can then run docker containers to provide Jenkins (slave) Nodes on which Jenkins can run builds.
More documentation available on the Jenkins wiki: https://plugins.jenkins.io/docker-plugin
Note: There is more than one docker plugin for Jenkins.
e.g. if you are using Jenkins pipeline / workflow / Jenkinsfile builds with code including terms like docker.withDockerRegistry or docker.image etc then you're using the docker-workflow plugin and should probably go to its repository instead of this one.
